The Chambers in the North Wall of the Inner Court: Sanctity
The Chamber of the Hewn-Stone and the Place of the Hearth had two doors. One door led to the Chail, which was not a sanctified area, and the other lead to the sanctified Court, Therefore the level of sanctity inside the chambers was divided into two parts. The part of the chamber facing the Court was on the level of sanctity of the Court. Here, only kings from the house of David were permitted to sit. In contrast, the part of the chamber facing the Chail was on the level of sanctity of the Chail. In this area, one was permitted to sit. |
